The crystallization of liquid 
is investigated using a polarizable-ion
potential model. The formation of a system-wide layered structure is
observed. The onset of the nucleation event is identified in
the system energetics, pressure and structure factor corresponding
to the formation of the layers. Voronoi analysis is used to highlight the growth
of the nanocrystallite through the void structure. The nucleation event is understood
in terms of classical nucleation theory and the liquid behaviour at higher temperature.
